The following is the lyric to a song written by my brother Chris, off his debut CD titled ORBIT, now available on iTunes. © 2008, music Chris McNally, lyric Kevin Curran. To fully appreciate the irony, you've got to hear the haunting, grab your heart melody. (Search "Christopher McNally" on iTunes to hear sample cuts from the CD.)
EVERYTHING HURTS
I ask myself a question
The question starts with why
The answer always ends up as a lie.
I look in her direction
I'm gonna give it one more try
The smile is there
But the truth is in her eyes.
Now everything hurts,
You know you knew it from the first,
It's how the universe works,
It's at its best
When you feel your worst.
Now I been out there for a while
. . . For all that's worth
Don't waste your time
I used up all of mine.
I took a chance to fix my past,
Cover all my debts,
I tried and tried
But the bottom line
Everything hurts,
You know you knew it from the first
It's how the universe works
It's at its best when you feel your worst.
Now you might walk a straight line
Try to make things right
When you see the price
You'll work away your life.
Now I believe dreams can come true
I've been told so many times
When I woke up the other night
And everything hurt
You know you knew it from the first
It's how the universe works,
It's at its best when you feel worst,
Now everything hurts
Drink is supposed to quench my thirst
Everything hurts
We'll keep you posted when things get worse.
